Flash in HTML-based AIR app: Urls do not open

Hy there
Like the title states, I have a HTML-based AIR application, which embeds flash. This flash opens Links which should eventually open the default browser. For this I previously had to set the following property in my AIR application:
window.htmlLoader.navigateInSystemBrowser = true;
Like this the URL calls were forwarded to outside the application and then opened the webbrowser. We had successfully tested this on various systems.
However, now there are users of our application, who report that on their system (Including WinXP Professional SP3!) the websites do not open at all. When clicking on a link inside the app nothing happens.
Their system:
Hardware: Lenovo IdeaPad S12
Windows XP Home Edition v2002 Service pack 3
IE 7 (Version 7.0.5730.13)
Firefox 3.5.7
I had a look at the system and things like switching the default browser or re-installing Firefox did not work. Unfortunately this is a critical issue and kinda urgent so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Thank you for reporting back and letting us know.
Chris

  • HTML-based AIR app with transparent UI, shadows, etc.?

    I'm debating on whether to use Flex or HTML/Ajax for a widget
    in a project. If I make an HTML-based widget, is it possible to
    have UI tricks like shadows and transparency, basically, NOT being
    confined to a standard OS "box" window? Is this possible?
    Thanks.

    Yes it is possible to do this with an HTML-based AIR app.
    However, since the visual elements will be HTML-elements, not
    display objects, you can't use the Flash APIs for shadows and
    transparency. Also, in a transparent window, SWF and PDF content in
    HTML cannot be displayed.

  • HTML based AIR app with transparent background (PNG)

    Hi guys,
    I have been developing a VERY simple HTML / JavaScript AIR app with Dreamweaver CS3 and Photoshop CS3.
    I have skinned the app with a simple transparent PNG file (Photoshop > Save for Web and Devices). I have set the PNG as the <body> background-image via CSS and the body background-color is undefined. I have also set the app to:
        <systemChrome>none</systemChrome>
        <transparent>true</transparent>
    My problem is that I get a white opaque background showing through behind / around the PNG.
    Q: Is it possible for HTML / JavaScript AIR apps to have transparent backgrounds (I have seen lots of info about how to do this in Flash / Flex but not HTML)?
    Q: What do I need to change or do to make it work?
    Many, many thanks,
    B

    Oops, sorry.
    I was using the BluePrint CSS Framework and it turns out that that was setting a background color.
    Please ignore this thread!

  • Convert HTML/javascript AIR app to flex-based AIR app?

    Hi all,
    I've already built an AIR app using HTML/javascript that I
    would like to monetize.
    I would like to use O2app's E-Commerce framework, which right
    now only supports Flex-created AIR apps.
    My question: Is there a simple way to "convert" an
    HTML/javascript AIR app to Flex 3 format? I'd rather not have to
    rebuild the app from scratch in Flex 3 if I don't have to. :)
    Thanks,
    Al

    Hi,
    There's no simple way to convert an HTML AIR app to flex.
    But it is possible to create HTML Root windows from a Flex
    AIR App. By root window, I mean the same kind of window that is
    launched when you launch an HTML AIR App.
    For more info, look at the HTMLLoader.createRootWindow()
    call. (This will be available from a Flex AIR app as well)

  • Can I run an html/javascript AIR app on Android or iOS?

    Is it possible to compile an already-existing HTML/javascript app to install/run it on any mobile OS (Android or iOS, in particular)? I haven't found anything that says it's possible, only instructions for doing it with a Flash/Flex based AIR app.
    I have a large html/javascript app, with a lot of value put into it, and my client would like to be able to package it for use on tablets. Ideally, I'd like to be able to not only have it run there, but also be able to "hide" the html/js code from prying eyes, if there's a way to do that.
    Thanks much in advance... I've done considerable research trying to get an answer to these questions.

    Hi Ross,
    the certificate used for APK files is a self-signed one so at this point, no need to use Google Console yet.
    See http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/publishing-process-android-amazon-mobil e.html (Create a certificate file using Keytool)
    Testing is only a matter of installing the APK file on the device where you should be able to test.
    The Android developer account will be useful for testing if you have in-app purchases matching 'retail' folios.

  • Embedding swf into HTML+JS AIR app

    Hi
    I'm trying to embed swf into HTML+JS AIR app with no luck.
    First, I created flash library with this class in default package.
    package
         import mx.controls.Alert;
         public class Utilities
              public function Utilities()
                             //asdfasdf              
                   Alert.show("asdasd","");
    Then I compiled the project with Flash Builder and got library.swc as result. Then I extracted swf file.
    After this is added required code into my html:
    <html>
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRAliases.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="AIRIntrospector.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.2.js"></script>
        <script src="library.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function () {
                alert('loaded');
                air.Introspector.logError("aaa");
                var v = new runtime.Utilities();
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>
    Then after I run application, I get error that result of expression is not constructor, function etc.
    Could you help me please?  Thanks in advance.
    Here is sample code:
    http://depositfiles.com/files/jztpnlb3a

    No. I mean that the Flex framework makes certain assumptions about the environment it is running in -- like having a stage to work with. The Alert function, for example, works by creating a sprite and adding it to the Flash display list. Since your embedded SWF is not on a stage, there's no way for it to work.
    You can can possibly use certain non-visual parts of the framework, such as the rpc package, but I can't guarantee it.

  • Finder and certain apps crashing or not opening

    Hi there,
    As of this morning I've been having some pretty major problems with my 2011 iMac running Mavericks (10.9.1).
    A large number of apps will simply not open; they flash on the dock briefly then instantly disappear. This also sometimes happens with the Finder - when I do get finder to work, it constantly restarts itself.
    I've read that this may be an issue caused by using CleanMyMac and I'll likely need to do a full reinstall - however I can't transfer a lot of my essential files to my external hard drive seeing as Finder keeps crashing. The other issue is I can't even launch the App Store to download a copy of Mavericks - and even if I could, Finder wouldn't let me put it on a USB drive anyway because it'd just crash.
    The problem persists after repairing my disk and permissions, still occurs with a different user. I have also tried safe mode to no avail.
    My question is - does anyone know a way to AT LEAST resolve the Finder/App Store issue? I'm not too fussed if I can transfer off my important data and do a full reinstall, seeing as it's the start of the year and a fresh HDD wouldn't hurt. If someone knows how to solve the entire problem, well, that'd be just awesome.
    I understand I'll probably need to submit a log of something - not sure what though.
    Thanks a lot for any help,
    Matt

    Sorry, a clean install. As I said, I can't download the installer because the App Store won't open.
    Even if I could there's no way to then make a bootable USB drive to do the clean install from as my Finder keeps crashing when I attempt to transfer anything to another drive.

  • My hotmail was open and I was using on my Mac Air, now it will not open

    My hotmail was open and I was using on my Mac Air, now it will not open
    What did I do and how do I open ?

    The app may not be iOS6 compatible. Have you tried to reset it? HOld down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red slider, and unitl you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps. If it doesn't, then I'd contact Kindle and see when they're going to update their app or if they even know there's an issue. Unfortunately, the burden is on app developers to be compatible with the operating system, not on the OS to be compatible with millions of apps. So it's up to them.

    my app store will not open. when i try to open it i get an error that reads "You can't open the application App Store because it may be damaged or incomplete". How can I fix this?

    I am having the exact same problem.  MacForums has been helping me, and I called Apple.  After trying everyone's suggestions, and Apple's, no success.
    My App Store app still says "incomplete or damaged."  There is even a circle with a line through it on the icon.  Apple said reinstall my Snow Leopard upgrade disc (not my original Leopard disc) and then run the Combo Update (like your suggestion).  Did not work.  I also updated the software from "Software Update".  Rebooted.
    I think this started after I replaced my hard drive with a SSD and moved the hard drive to where the DVD was.  I wonder if the person above who had the same problem also installed a SSD?
    Anyway, anymore ideas?  Even Apple is stumped.
    (In answer to the other post above, my Quicktime works fine.)

    Just did some more reading.  I was going by the icon in the dock.  When I checked in Finder, there it was, fixed and brand new!!  Thanks, anyway.

    Hello...well, to start with, that is not the latest AppWorld....3.1.4.25 is the latest. Therefore, I suggest you try this sequence:
    1) Remove AppWorld from your BB
    KB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
    If it requests that you reboot the BB, do so
    2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot (power on, remove battery, wait, insert battery, wait), even if redundant to the one you did in step 1.
    3) Install (on your BB) a fresh copy of AppWorld

    Again, if it requests to reboot, do so.
    4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
    5) See if it now works.
